1.Sowing & Germination

Scallions are incredibly versatile. They can be grown in tight clusters or as individual stalks, and they are one of the best choices for container gardening.When to Plant:Spring: Direct sow as soon as the soil can be worked (4–6 weeks before last frost).

• →Succession: For a constant supply, sow a new row every 3 weeks until late summer.
• →Sowing Depth: 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep.
• →Spacing: Sow seeds thickly (about 4–6 seeds per inch).For "Bunching": Leave them in clusters for a dense harvest.
• →For Large Stalks: Thin to 2 inches apart.
• →Germination Time: 7–14 days. Onion seeds are small and black; ensure the seedbed remains moist so the soil doesn't crust over.

2.Growing & Care

• →Watering: Onions have very shallow roots. They need consistent moisture to stay tender. Provide 1 inch of water per week. If they dry out, the stems can become tough and overly pungent.
• →Weeding: Critical. Scallions look like grass when they first sprout and are easily overwhelmed by weeds. Keep the bed meticulously clean so the onions don't have to compete for nutrients.
• →Feeding: They are moderate feeders. A balanced organic fertilizer at planting is usually sufficient, but a mid-season boost of nitrogen (like fish emulsion) will produce greener, more vigorous tops.

3.Harvest

• →Days to Maturity: 60–75 Days.
• →When to Pick: You can begin harvesting as soon as the stalks are the thickness of a pencil.Method:The Whole Plant: Pull the entire plant out of the ground. Tokyo Long White is "single-stalked," meaning it won't divide like some other bunching types.The "Forever" Method: If you snip off the green tops but leave the white base and roots in the ground, they will often regrow a new set of leaves!
• →Winter Hardiness: This variety is exceptionally cold-hardy. In many climates, you can leave them in the ground through winter for a very early spring harvest.

4.In the Kitchen

• →Storage: Wrap in a damp paper towel and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 10–14 days.
• →Culinary Use: Every part of the Tokyo Long White is edible. The white bottoms are sweet and mild (great for sautéing), while the green tops provide a fresh, sharp "pop" for garnishes, soups, and stir-fries.
• →Flavor Profile: Sweeter and less "bitey" than standard storage onions, making them perfect for eating raw in salads or over tacos.
